Pro Team Base Layer - Long SleeveCAD$50.00

Long sleeves for year-round comfort

This is a new long sleeve version of our popular Pro Team Short Sleeve and Sleeveless Base Layers, offering racing performance in mild to cold conditions. Wear this base layer under your jersey or jacket, and the open mesh body fabric will provide warmth, breathability and moisture transfer, while the stretch side panels ensure a close, Pro Team fit. Two new slogans are included on the front of the base layer: ‘QUÄL DICH, DU SAU!’ on the white version and ‘PÉDALER EN DANSEUSE’ on the black version. The former, meaning ‘torture yourself, you pig!’ in German, was shouted by Telekom rider Udo Bölts to Jan Ullrich during the 1997 Tour in an effort to draw the last ounces of strength from his fading team captain. The latter, meaning ‘to dance on the pedals’ in French, is an expression used to celebrate the style of riders able to make climbing look easy.

NB: The Pro Team Base Layer sizing is race-tight. Please select your regular jersey size or, if you want a more relaxed fit, move up one size.

Love it, great productAbsolutely no complaints. This is an essential piece of kit for cooler temperatures, and really helps make the PT midweight long-sleeve jersey hold up to cooler temps, or as a base layer under even the classic long-sleeve jerseys.

Extremely versatileMy favorite piece of kit for cool weather riding. Great layer under a long sleeve jersey for added warmth, but extremely breathable when you heat up.

Most used base layersI love Rapha’s Mesh type base layers. I have a few of them prior to trying this pro cut version. The pro fit is even better. Tighter fit for better layering under other pro cut gear. Offers versatility in that you can wear it in varying temps. Sometimes I wear one under a thicker base layer on the cold days for that extra wick and air gap. These are essential pieces to Riding all year round. The fit is perfect. I’m 6’3”,174lbs and most of size M stuff from rapha was made for me. I have maybe 8 mesh type base layers now. Doubles of some. Plus they look sexy when you get dressed in the mirror. Momma mia’!

Great Fit and FeelI needed a new long sleeve base to replace my aging and worn merino base. I wore it under a training jacket this past weekend on a mild temp ride (about 5 degrees celsius). It worked great. It breaths well, and feels very comfortable.

Weight & FitExtremely light and comfortable. No bunching. Perfect on its own but I also combo it with the Rapha rain proof base layer, great in cold rainy weather.
